Whether you are a student at Bowling Green State University, an alumni, a townie, or just passing through, you are guaranteed to get hungry. It's just human nature and those of us here in BG aim to please. There are so many delicious nooks and crannies hidden in the corners of our quaint, little town. Whether you've already eaten here or not, these are some of the best places to dine.
1. Beckett's Burger Bar
All of us college students are on a budget and what better way is there to celebrate Hump Day than with $1 margaritas and 50 cent tacos? Not only do they have great weekly specials, but Beckett's BYOB (build your own burger) menu is delicious. I would also recommend their chicken quesadillas and loaded Bloody Mary's. They were voted the number one pub/tavern in BG for a reason!
2. Easy Street Cafe
The cutest little restaurant on Main Street, Easy Street has the friendliest atmosphere and the best French onion soup. That's not to mention that their onion rings are the size of your head! No, I'm not joking.
3. Jed's Barbecue & Brew
What's a FireBall, you ask? Jed's is known for their legendary, world-famous FireBalls. FireBalls are as fancy and intriguing as they sound! They're loaded boneless wings and they are to die for. They have everything from "Hog Balls" to "Hangover Balls" and their happy hour specials can't be beat.
4. Cookie Jar
Everyone from Bowling Green knows just how scrumptious Cookie Jar cookies are. Nothing beats a cookie of the day and a glass of ice-cold milk. I also hear that the inception cookie is pretty good!

5. Pisanello's Pizza
Pizza never had it so good! Pisanello's has been the best in town since 1964! The Meatzza tastes even better when you sit in the window seat.
6. Grounds for Thought
If you're ever in the mood for a cup of local coffee or a quiet place to study, Grounds is the place for you. They have everything from homemade pastries to rustic books and board games.
7. South Side 6
This is not just your local corner convenience store. While South Side 6 does carry essentials, their take-out menu is superb! Try out a world-famous gyro! You won't regret it.
8. Amish Deli
Arguably home to one of Bowling Green's best sandwiches, the Amish Deli has something for everyone. From daily specials to desserts, this place has all of your foodie needs covered.
9. Eric's Ice Cream Factory
Going into Eric's transforms every college student into a kid in candy store. Their ice cream is made in-house and they have millions of flavors. OK, maybe not millions, but there is something to satisfy every sweet tooth. Not only does Eric's have ice cream, but they also have a variety meals and dinner baskets.
10. Kabob It
Kabob It is your Mediterranean station! They have everything from build your own pitas to combo platters to fresh salads and much more!
11. Black Swamp Pub & Bistro
For all of you on-campus folks, the pub is the place to be. Not only do they accept Falcon Dollars, but their spinach artichoke dip is amazing. That's not to mention that the pub has a killer white cheddar and bacon macaroni and cheese!
12. Campus Pollyeyes
Pollyeyes claims to have the world's best bread sticks and they are definitely right! It might be a heart attack on a plate, but it is so worth it!
13. Corner Grill
Our thoughts go to out to the Corner Grill, who was recently the victim of a fire, but don't let that stop you! They plan on reopening as soon as they can, which means that you'll be eating well in no time! This is one of BG's best hidden gems. They serve anything and everything that you can imagine and it's all relatively inexpensive!
